Good evening.

Saw Garrison Keillor and Prairie Home Companion on their summer tour tonight.  It's always fun to see everyone doing their thing, but especially live.  Long show, too -- three hours, and what he does for a "standing intermission" is walk into the audience and lead everyone in folk songs and hymns.

Naturally, this had to be at a nice but outdoor venue on the coldest night in weeks, and naturally it had to start misting, and then raining very lightly but persistently toward the end.  But only a few non-hearty types left early, and it was a pretty fine evening.

That sounds like a nice evening.

Just relaxing after watching a motion picture on Blu and Ray - completely weird movie, which I kind of just went with thanks to its quirky performances.  This is one of the worst-reviewed movies of the last decade and it didn't even get a theatrical release, and it's easy to see why.  After loathing pretty much everything from its once great director, this one at least held my interest for most of its eighty-three minutes.  Then I made the mistake of watching the director's granddaughter's making of video.  After watching that, I just realized this once great filmmaker is clearly out of his cotton-pickin' mind.  And pompous as you can get.  I don't know how exactly he can afford to fund a movie like this and have it lose every penny.

Cool...Garrison Keillor is coming to the Washington Center for the Performing Arts next season!

I'm watching "America's Got Talent."  It's the results show for the first live show.  I didn't vote (sue me) but I agree with a lot of the choices.
